The Bag Lady's brother has done many interesting things to it, and it is wonderfully decorated, with all manner of interesting and quirky things.
There's a little room just beyond the back entrance where he spends a good deal of time.....
And a beautiful built-in cupboard holding glass of all description:
Through the dining room to the living area....
And on to the front entrance hall:
Up the stairs to the second floor
past the library:
You come to the stairs to the third floor, where the guest room is located.
As you climb the stairs to the guest room, you pass the "memory cupboard":
Until you reach the cozy guest suite.
The memory cupboard contains, along with many other things, a photo of the Bag Lady's parents...... (her camera battery was dying, so the photo is blurry. Sigh.)
(Blogger liked the pictures so well, it uploaded 4 or 5 copies of each one, so the Bag Lady has spent a lot of time trying to fix this post!)

Lovely. Thanks for the tour of BagBrother's house.
Wow...what an amazing old house. Hope you had a fantastic visit.
Leah - you're welcome!
Geo - it truly is, and I had a fabulous time!!
Your brother has good taste. Thanks for the tour.
These are great pix, but what really caught this Texas girl's eye was the radiator in the first one. It IS a radiator, right? Please tell me I'm not completely ignorant on these matters.
When I was in Colorado a couple months ago I saw a totally new type of radiator (to me) at the Salida town library. I tried to get my husband to look but he was like, meh. Sorry, but radiators are fascinating in their many different styles.
Gonna go turn down the thermostat on the a/c now. It's over 100 today here in the Sunny South.
I was also fascinated by the radiator. Looks really warm. It's a marvelous house, with plenty of books.

messymimi - yes, he does. His house if full of interesting things!
Bunnygirl - yes, it IS a radiator, and it's very pretty. And we didn't need it when I was there because it was very warm.... not quite as warm as where you are, but still very warm!
Mary Anne in Kentucky - there are books everywhere you look in his house - I had to close my eyes a lot so I didn't get absorbed in any of them!
Oh what a nice place. That radiator is indeed a beauty... as is the attic library and the quirky colours throughout the home.
Thanks, Hilary!
Wow, what a charming house!
And the blurry photo of your parents is actually very arty! Seems to convey the sense of time gone by, love, loss, etc much more gracefully than a sharp focused shot would have.
Thanks for the tour!
I love old houses! They usually have so much character. Thanks for the tour!
Lovely tour Sis. I still wish I had been there and I still covet those Wassily chairs. (yeah, I had to look it up, I couldn't remember)
Thanks, Crabby! (Wish I could say I planned it that way....!)
You're welcome, Java Chick! I had so much fun taking pictures of all the cool stuff in his house!
Reb - I wish you could have come, too -- maybe next time!
They have done a great job finishing (??) the house, it sure lookes different than when I last saw it. And re: Chicago - you do realise that you can change the default dictionary to English so that you can avoid misspelling "travelling" and other various words?? :-) Glad you had such a good trip
Rikk - yes, the house looks wonderful, and very different from the last time I saw it.
(And one of these days I will get around to changing the dictionary. Really.)
